01/23/12 Kalua Pork Recipe

1/23/12 ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MEALS:

Kalua Pork, Yumm!

Get a pork roast (we usually get about 3 lb roast).

Mix together equal parts of salsa and brown sugar.  (1 cup salsa with 1 cup brown sugar for example).  Pour mixture over the roast BEFORE you cook it.  Leave it alone and so many hours later,  ummmm ... like candied meat.  No wonder it's so good, eh?!

Cook it for 6-8 hours on really low heat.  Crock pot on low (about 200 degrees I think).

I don't know if you can make this due to you not having an oven or a crock pot or anything cool like that.  But this is actually really easy to do if you want to pass it on to Sis C.  Maybe she can cook it for you.

Also the tortillas that I make are also very easy...Just flour, baking soda, water, shortening...something like that.  Any recipe off the internet would work.  Let me know if you want one of those too.  (Much easier to just buy tortillas but they are super yummy homemade.)

We had kalua pork on Sunday (just port roast cooked with sea salt (big fat salt) and liquid smoke.  It was So totally yummy and moist and delcious too.  I love pork.

K, well just thought I'd tell you how to make it!!!!

Homemade Tortilla

Recipe for tortillas off internet:

Tortillas

Makes 24

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons lard (or butter, margarine, shortening)
• 1 1/2 cups water

Directions

1. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.

Add lettuce, tomato, cheese, taco sauce, whatever...delicious!
